G is for Giraffe

 It's time for the 11th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 8 - G

G is for Giraffe

... poor Merle is in a tangle ...

she's still in a tangle from earlier when she

was on a same-but-different green card.

This cute card uses the "Merle" pre-coloured stamp and the "Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Lights" digital sentiment from the Merle digital stamp set by Beccy’s Place.

I opened the digital stamp and sentiment in Silhouette Studio, along with a fancy fold card base, a Square Centre Step Card cut file (details below) and sized everything to fit.  I printed the image panel on textured cardstock and cut the card base and accent strips from textured cardstock too.  Once cut, I burnished the folds, adhered the Fairy Lights Christmas ribbon to the cardstock strips and assembled the card.

I shared a card with this design earlier for "G is for Green Giraffe Card",

so I won't go over the same details again.

FULL details can be found HERE with the card I posted earlier,

when I first used the Fairy Lights Christmas ribbon.

I love the cheery colours and texture of the ribbon,

a perfect match for poor tangled Merle.

   

Another great thing about this fancy fold is that even though

it opens with lots of dimension, it folds flat to 5 1/2" square

and fits inside a standard square envelope for mailing.

Here is the link to the "G is for Green Giraffe Card"

card I shared earlier, click HERE or on the photo below.

... they're the same-but-different ...

I know these will bring big smiles to the faces of

the "Little Hands" that come play at our house
